§ 5-7. Alarm verification calls required.

All burglary or intrusion alarm systems that have central monitoring shall have central monitoring make a verification telephone call to the alarm site, and then to an alternate contact number if the first phone call is unsuccessful, prior to the alarm monitoring personnel contacting the Lancaster Police Department for alarm dispatch. However, if the alarm has properly operating visual or auditory sensors that enable the monitoring company to verify the alarm signal, verification calling is not required. Failure by the alarm system contractor or alarm monitoring company to make verification calls may result in a fine of $125.
